Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is my AC making noise a cause for concern?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my living room has been making this weird gurgling noise for the past few days, and I noticed it’s not cooling as effectively as it used to. I live on the 15th floor in a Dubai high-rise, and with the summer heat coming in, I'm getting really worried. I’ve also seen some dust accumulating around the vents, which I don't remember happening before. Should I be concerned about this now, or is it something that can wait a bit?

Your AC unit making a gurgling noise, especially in the context of the current Dubai summer heat, is certainly a cause for concern. This sound often indicates that there may be an issue with the refrigerant flow or that there could be a blockage in the drainage system. In high-rise buildings like yours, where humidity and dust can accumulate, it’s not uncommon for the indoor coil to become dirty, leading to reduced cooling efficiency and potential water accumulation.

The dust you’ve observed around the vents also raises a red flag. Accumulated dust can restrict airflow, leading to further inefficiencies and potentially causing the unit to work harder, which can increase your energy bills and shorten the lifespan of the system. Moreover, if the dust is mixed with moisture, it could foster mold growth, which poses health risks to you and your family.

In Dubai, the UAE has specific regulations concerning indoor air quality and HVAC system maintenance. The UAE Fire and Life Safety Code (2018) stresses the importance of adequate maintenance of air conditioning systems to ensure they operate safely and effectively. Regular coil cleaning and maintenance are not just recommended; they are necessary for compliance and for maintaining safe indoor air quality.

Given the symptoms you’ve described, it is advisable to have a professional inspection conducted as soon as possible. A qualified technician can assess the condition of your AC unit, clean the coils, check for refrigerant leaks, and ensure that the drainage system is clear. This proactive approach can save you from more costly repairs down the line and ensure that your home remains comfortable during the hotter months.

If you suspect a more serious issue, or if your AC continues to underperform, I strongly recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company. You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance. Don’t wait until the heat becomes unbearable; addressing these issues now can help maintain a healthy and comfortable living environment.
